    The self shielding wire does not need any gas, but the welds need to be cleaned more after they're just finished. Either way, that beats using body for filler injections to patch up holes!

    Set up of the machine depends upon the metal you are welding and it's width. It is recommended that you first select a piece of scrap metal that may be the same thickness and type of metal as the one you will be welding and practice welding to the scrap.?? Set the machine so that when it is welding it has a timely crackling sound to the idea. Once you've got the idea down, it's time to arrange your car's metal.

    Prep work for metal repairs on cars requires cleaning the joint so that only clean steel is actually showing. This is not just for cars but MIG welding in general. You want everything meet up as tight as possible so there are no gaps. Another thing to be wary of before getting started is anything flammable in your work area. The last thing you should do is set your garage on fire!

    Now you are ready to weld. When welding slender metals, the only technique employed is that on the whipping motion.?? Simply point the MIG rifle and pull the trigger when you wave it in between the two until you fuse the edges in the joint together.?? Once you're finished while using the welds, grind down the welds until they are flush with your vehicle's work surface. Those are the essentials of MIG welding for a car restoration needs! Safe welding!

    To check how bad the rust is, take a body hammer which has a pick on one stop, and use that conclusion to lightly tap the rusted spot you've got found, if the metal appears like it's soft and goes easily, then you has to fix this area now, in some cases you'll knock a hole in the area that your tapping with wit the hammer, don't worry about this, it won't be there for long if you ever fix the rust hole properly.
